Edwin Cardona is now at the top of the roller coaster that has been his sporting life: an undeniable talent that rises at full speed but surprisingly drops due to his decisions.
Right now critics in Argentina, the same ones who lashed out at him just a few weeks ago, are beginning to wonder if a little patience with the Colombian is not worth it, whom they condemned to return to Mexico just a few days ago.
“You don’t know about soccer. The 8th is crack, Cardona has already taught soccer, father’s chair. You don’t know anything, you’re a donkey. You can be here for 40 years that you won’t know anything about soccer,” Jorge Riquelme told him, Juan Román’s father, to the journalist Roberto Leto a few hours ago. “He does not play because they do not play him, but he is crack, stop fucking. You speak when he plays. In Argentine football there is no player like him,” he concluded.
And the journalist Pablo Giralt added: “Cardona returned to play as if they would buy his pass. Wednesday against Independiente will be a nice test to really know where the Battaglia team is standing.”
Fair victory for Boca that climbs in the annual table and gets into the zone of # Liberators. Cardona returned to play as if they bought the pass. Wednesday against Independiente will be a nice test to really know where the Battaglia team stands. pic.twitter.com/iLHAPvlBnV

Well, now that it is on that crest of the wave and that the Colombian National Team is costing a goal to score at least one goal, one of those that Cardona scored in the past to win vital matches in the World Cup qualifiers, no one is missing Ask yourself the question: why don’t they call you?
It is worth saying that the coach Reinaldo Rueda gave him the opportunity in the Copa América, in which he effectively unlocked the attack zone a lot, but he lacked regularity and physical background. Now, in addition, James Rodríguez has returned and it seems difficult to accommodate them both.
If it were in your hands, what would you do with Cardona?
Would you call Edwin Cardona to the Colombian National Team for the Qualifiers in January 2022?
Yes, at this moment there is no excess talent
No, his chance has passed
Yes, if you made a mistake you deserve another chance, like everyone
No, in the past it was not decisive in Selection either
